President Nana Akufo-Addo will later today Wednesday, March 8, 2023 deliver the State of the Nation Address in Parliament.
This is pursuant to Article 67 of the 1992 Constitution, which states that the President shall deliver a message on the State of the Nation to Parliament at the start of each session and before the dissolution of Parliament.
The President’s address is expected to outline in greater detail, the entirety of the package of policies the government is implementing to bring back the days of rapid economic growth.
The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, earlier explained the reason why the State of the Nation Address was postponed from February.
“After extensive discussions, the address has been shifted to the 8th of March. It is for good reason that the President agreed to the date. The 6th is an important date for all of us and there will be a national event in Ho and the President is expected to be there. On the 7th also, definitely, for good reason, it cannot be held. So, we have agreed to sacrifice some assignments and do the SONA on 8th,” the Speaker said.
